I totally understand the fear. Their history definitely doesn’t indicate they’re the best studio for the job. That said, I did enjoy Dear Esther and Korsakovia for what they are. Korsakovia is just a really creepy idea that I really dug, and I played Dear Esther shortly after my sister died so it hit close to home for me.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by studios stepping out of their comfort zones before, and I’m so desperate for Bloodlines 2 that I’m not capable of being anything but blindly optimistic.
I've played the first Bloodlines game so much (it's #3 as far as hours played in my Steam library) and absolutely love it and am in a similar boat that you are, except I know Chinese Room through Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (which I also love). I'm doubtful it will do well but optimistically hopeful that I will be proven wrong.
